Special germination instructions:
Soak seed in water for 12 to 24 hours

Harvesting: Snow peas should be picked before the
seeds start to form. Peas that are too mature are
tough and will cause the plant to stop producing;
therefore, harvest regularly when pods are at their
peak. Use scissors to harvest or hold vine with one
hand and pick the pods with the other, as the vines
are brittle.
